What We Do

Boarding and international school admissions are a family journey. Our dedicated team partners with parents to strategically navigate the admissions landscape. From understanding the application requirements to preparing for interviews, we guide and support both parents and students throughout the entire application process.

  • School Exploration

    Let our expert consultants match your family with the ideal school! Explore in-depth academics, extracurricular activities, and matriculation rate of boarding schools.

  • Building a Personalized School List

    Finding the right boarding schools for your student requires careful consideration of multiple criteria. Our expert consultants will help you identify the specific factors most important to your family—whether academic programs, campus culture, location, or extracurricular offerings. We'll guide you through determining these priorities and then present you with a curated list of schools that perfectly align with your student's needs and potential.

  • Shape Student's Application

    By closely working with students and parents, we put together an application with a clear narrative. We help students thoughtfully present their extracurricular activities and achievements to highlight their passions, leadership qualities, and unique contributions, creating a cohesive and authentic portrait that resonates with admissions committees.

  • Essay Support

    Our consultants provide expert guidance throughout the essay writing process, helping students craft compelling personal narratives that showcase their unique strengths and experiences. We offer individualized feedback on topic selection, structure, and content to ensure essays are authentic, impactful, and aligned with each school's values.

  • Interview Prep

    Our consultants will guide you through every step of the interview process to help you make a strong impression. We provide personalized coaching to ensure you present your best self and stand out to admissions committees.
